Family & Friends CPR Anytime Personal
Learning Program
The American Heart
Association sponsored a program for the Eighth grade students at the RW
Kershaw School to learn how to administer CPR. Staff from Cooper Hospital
administered the one hour training to the students. Each student received
a CPR Anytime kit which contained a personal inflatable CPR manikin-“Mini
Annie”, CPR Anytime Skills Practice DVD, an American Heart Association CPR
for Family and Friends booklet and accessories for the program. The
students are asked to instruct five family members and/or friends once
they return home.

Battle of
the Books Competition
Both of our teams from the RW Kershaw School, and
7th/8th grades, won the Battle of the Books Competitions. The 7th/8th
grade team won their competition first May 2 and the 5th/6th grade teams
won on May 9. This is the second year in a row that the 5th/6th grade
team won first place in the competition. The days of the competitions were
extremely stressful for our students. The students showed great
composure, knowledge, maturity and made their classmates, teachers and
administrators very proud. Over 30 students from the RW Kershaw School
competed again this year. This is the fifth year that the Mt. Ephraim
district has competed. Each student had to complete as many books as they
could out of the 15 titles that were required this year. Also, as part of
the team eligibility, students must have attended meetings after school.
The students were very proud and excited to display their winning banners. |
